The Afar, the junction point of three tectonic plates, the Arabic plate, the Somali plate and the African plate, is visible at the top right along the Red Sea. Ethiopia covers most of the image, crossed by the great African Rift that continues south towards Kenya. Many lakes visible in this image currently occupy the rift

March - Volcanos Ceraunius Tholus and Uranius Tholus - Mars - Volcanos Ceraunius Tholus and Uranius Tholus - Image obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor probe in March 2002. This image shows the volcanoes Ceraunius Tholus (bottom) and Uranius Tholus (top). The presence of impact crateres on these volcanoes indicates that these volcanoes are old. The crater at the top of Ceraunius Tholus is about 25 km in diameter. Acquired in March 2002, this Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera wide angle view shows the martian volcanoes, Ceraunius Tholus (lower) and Uranius Tholus (upper). The presence of impact craters on these volcanoes, particularly on Uranius Tholus; indicates that they are quite ancient and are not active today. The light - toned area on the southeastern face (towards lower right) of Ceraunius Tholus is a remnant of a once more extensive deposit of dust from the global dust storm events that occurred in 2001.

Aurora australis seen from the International Space Station (ISS) on May 29, 2010. The ISS was located over the Southern Indian Ocean at an altitude of 350 km, with the astronaut observer most likely looking towards Antarctica (not visible) and the South Pole. The aurora has a sinuous ribbon shape that separates into discrete spots near the lower right corner of the image. While the dominant coloration of the aurora is green, there are faint suggestions of red photon emission as well (light fuscia tones at image center left). Dense cloud cover is dimly visible below the aurora. The curvature of the Earth's horizon, or limb, is clearly visible as is the faint blue line of the upper atmosphere directly above at image top center.

Irregular Galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud (NGC 292) - The Small Magellanic Cloud - The galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud is about 240,000 light years from Earth in the southern constellation of Toucan. It's one of the closest galaxies of the Lactee Way. Two globular clusters are visible in this image, on the right the Toucan cluster, at the top of the galaxy the NGC 362 cluster. Image obtained by the 1.2m UK Schmidt telescope from Siding Spring, Australia. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the second nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, (the LMC being the nearest) and is at the distance of about 240,000 light years, quite close enough for it to be resolved into individual stars on this colour picture made from plates taken on the UK Schmidt Telescope. The shape of the SMC defies description and it is therefore classified as an 'irregular' galaxy. The large globular cluster at right is 47 Tucanae, while a smaller one at the top of the picture is NGC 362. It is about 30,000 light yea

Indus (the Indian, widely taken to mean the American Indian) is a constellation devoid of bright stars in a mostly undistinguished part of the southern sky. It was created by Johann Bayer and appeared in his atlas of 1603. The reference to the American Indian comes from the constellation engraving by Bayer, which shows a figure carrying arrows; however, even if it was conspicuous, most of the constellation is invisible from the USA

Lynx is a modern northern constellation, created by the astronomer Hevelius in the 17th century. It wanders inconspicuously between the distinctive bright stars of Ursa Major to the east and Gemini and Auriga to the west. Lynx was supposedly named because its stars were so faint that lynx - like eyes were needed to see them

This Voyager photograph of Uranus taken in january 1986 is a composite of for images taken by the narrow angle camera. At this range, clouds and other features in the atmosphere as small as 1,370 km. could be detected by Voyager 2. Yet, no such features are visible. This view is toward the illuminated south pole of Uranus. The predominant blue color is the result of atmospheric methane, which absorbs the red wavelengths from incoming sunlight. The spot at the upper left edge of the planet's disk reulted from the removal of a network mark used in making measurments on the photograph. Three of Uranus' five known satellites are visible; Miranda (at far right, closest to the planet), Ariel (next out, at top), and Umbriel (lower left). Titania and Oberon are

Image obtained with a 50 cm telescope, composite of several images. Total installation of 52 hours. The Cone Nebula (also known as NGC 2264) is an H II region in the constellation of Monoceros. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1785. The nebula is located about 800 parsecs or 2,600 light - years away from Earth. The Cone Nebula is part of the nebulosity surrounding the Christmas Tree Cluster. The designation of NGC 2264 in the New General Catalogue refers to both objects and not the nebula alone.

Mars seen by the Hubble Space Telescope - 2003 - Images obtained in August 2003 during the opposition of Mars when the planet was only 56 million km away from Earth. These images were taken 11 hours apart, showing the two opposing hemispheres of Mars. On the left, image taken August 26, 2003, hemisphere of Syrtis Major with the Hellas basin. On the right, image taken on 27 August 2003, the region of the volcano Olympus Mons, at the top in the center, the volcanoes of Tharsis, below the right, and Valles Marineris in the middle of the image

Dark Nebula LDN 673 in Aquarius - LDN 673 dark nebula in Aquila - This telescopic close - up looks towards the region at a fragmented Aquila dark cloud complex identified as LDN 673, stretching across a field of view slightly wider than the full moon. In the scene, visible indications of energetic outflows associated with young stars include the small red tinted nebulosity RNO 109 at top left and Herbig - Haro object HH32 above and right of center. The dark clouds in Aquila are estimated to be some 600 light - years away

Region around M24 in Sagittarius - Area around M24 in Sagittarius - Image centred on the group of stars M24 in Sagittarius with at the top, the nebula Omega. To the right of the nebula, a weak nebula, IC 4701. Also visible are the cluster of stars M18, dark nebulae B92 and B93, and at the bottom of the picture a star shooting near nebulae NGC 6589 - 90 and IC 1283 - 4. Here is an interesting and particularly rich section of the Milky Way in Sagittarius. At top left in the frame is the red emission nebula M17, also known as the Swan or Omega nebula. Below and to the right of M17, is the faint emission nebula IC 4701. Below M17 and to the lower left of IC 4701 is open cluster M18. Taking up the entire lower center of the frame is M24, the small Sagittarius Star Cloud. Embedded in M24 is open cluster NGC 6603, just to the left of center. To the right of NGC 6603 are two dark nebulae, B92 and B93. At the bottom of the frame is red emission nebula IC 1283/84, and blue reflection nebulae NGC
